Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: NF-. First As Such. This 4 1/2" X 6", 255-page offering in NF/NF- condition is Poems of Vision and Prophecy, Edited by David Stanford Burr, and published by Barnes & Noble Poetry Library in 2002. Not an ex-library copy, the book is in superb shape, while the dust jacket's only flaw is some very modest shelf wear at bottom edge of jacket's spine. From front and back inside flaps, "In [this book] , some of the world's greatest poets are featured in a powerful collection that includes such classic poems as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's 'The Day Is Done', Lord Byron's 'Prometheus', Emily Dickinson's 'Because I could not stop for Death', and William Blake's 'The Tyger'. No refrain could be more haunting than Edgar Allan Poe's 'Quoth the Raven, Nevermore', no soliloquy more anguished than that written for Hamlet by William Shakespeare. And few poets can evoke so eloquently the mystery and beauty of life as do John Keats in 'Ode to a Nightingale' and Walt Whitman in 'As I Ebb'd with the Ocean of Life'. From the Biblical verses of Ecclesiastes to the electrifying pulse of Allen Ginsberg's 'Howl', [this volume] is a journey through the realm of imagination, belief, and spiritual revelation." You will find over 90 selections within the covers of this small but mighty offering, which seems to offer something for just about everyone's tastes! Also features Table of Contents, Index of Authors, and Index of First Lines. Thank you very much!!

As he travels across America on the lecture circuit, the famously witty playwright has found much to love about the western states. Whiskey, saloons, and friendly conversation with notables like John 'Doc' Holliday-Wilde loves it all. There is even, in every town his entourage visits, a sensational murder. In the nights after Wilde gives his talks, a man with a knife goes lurking in the back alleys and red-light districts of these dusty western towns. Each morning, the police find the remains of a savagely murdered prostitute. Booze-addled detective Earl Grigsby is tracking the killer, and suspects Wilde may be the one with blood on his hands. If he ever wants to leave America, Wilde will have to use his wit to unmask the savage killer." ; "Walter Satterthwait (b. 1946) is an author of mysteries and historical fiction. A fan of mystery novels from a young age, he spent high school immersed in the works of Dashiell Hammett and Mickey Spillane. While working as a bartender in New York in the late 1970s, he wrote his first book: an adventure novel, Cocaine Blues (1979), about a drug dealer on the run from a pair of killers. After his second thriller, The Aegean Affair (1982), Satterthwait created his best-known character, Santa Fe private detective Joshua Croft. Beginning with Wall of Glass (1988), Satterthwait wrote five Croft novels, concluding the series with 1996's Accustomed to the Dark. In between Croft books, he wrote mysteries starring historical figures, including Miss Lizzie (1989), a novel about Lizzie Borden, and Wilde West (1991), a western mystery starring Oscar Wilde. His most recent novel is Dead Horse (2007), an account of the mysterious death of Depression-era pulp writer Raoul Whitfield" ; FINE/FINE. Book.
